The right upper lobe posterior segment is one of the threebronchopulmonary segments of the right upper lobe. It is the most posterior of the segments in the right upper lobe lying below the apical segment, posterior to the anterior segment and above the horizontal fissure.

Together with the apical segment, it is analogous to the left upper lobe apicoposterior segment.
